EEG & EMG Exams

REGISTRATION DEADLINE is February 1, 2012

New Enhancements to the CSCN EEG/EMG Examinations

1. To give due recognition to candidates who have successfully challenged the CSCN examinations, a new official designation is introduced. “CSCN Diplomate (EEG)” will be used for those who passed the EEG examination and “CSCN Diplomate (EMG)” for passing the EMG examination. Those titles can be used when stating their medical qualifications.

2. For those unsuccessful candidates who have concerns about fairness of the examinations, an appeal process has been put in place. To activate the review process, the candidate must make the request in writing and explicitly state the reasons for concerns.
